Review:
The harem of "assistants" eclipsed by Gormelys weirdly shaped head and vast trousers as he
theatrically paces around the factory proportioned studio for the Television Crew should by now feel
comfortable in the obscurity of the Design & Technology teachers carbon free shadow. Oh look he
rides a bicycle, how bloody puritanically correct - all this posturing would be acceptable to
miserable people like me if there was some evidence of seminal, unique or fascinating outcomes. The
evidence speaks for itself, replicated superlative versions of his own hidious presence strewn
across the skyline or polluting the beaches, slightly nobbled ideas from the likes of the Wallingers
or Hirsts, crowd pleaser tactics endorsed by the ministry of greyness itself, The Department of
Serrota. Lame and bland.
